Our Society is Rotting

Social degradation starts in the family, when you are taught the wrong things, experience wrong things and are influenced by the wrong things. These factors affect and change an individual in how he or she develops and matures into adulthood. This person will then affect others around him or her the bad things he or she grew up with. This is what contributes to social degradation. This is what contributes to corruption, crime, and other bad things in our society today and because of this we blame the government even though, ultimately, its all our fault. We, the people are the ones who chose these officials. We are the ones who give them the power that leads into graft and corruption.

But this problem is not hopeless, we can still change the bad in our society and it all starts with ourselves. We caused the problem, we can also solve it. All we have to do is change our bad outlooks on things in life, spread around the good things as much as we have spread the bad things and our society can come back from its degradation and can become fresh and new once more.

Endangered Wildlife

Animals are precious but we take them for granted that's why many of them are now endangered because of our greed and selfishness. Mankind should realize that what we're doing is affecting everything else on this planet. These are few examples of endangered species around the world:

But we can still save them, its not that hard. We all need to develop our consciousness and awareness  when we do certain things like throwing garbage, purchasing "souvenirs" from unreliable sources and  buying gas that causes fumes because its not just our Earth, we share it with other living things like us. Not many realise this urgent problem we need to immediately address to prevent it from getting out of hand.

To Preserve, Protect, and Conserve

     As you all know, our country is losing its precious natural resources, and who's fault is it? Ours. That's why I want to try my best to help preserve, protect and conserve the natural resources of the Philippines. These following pictures show the destruction inflicted upon by man on the natural environment.

This shows we have gone too far in exploiting Mother Earth. Mankind should realize that destroying Earth will also affect them for it is our shelter and our home.

But it is not too late we can still save the Earth from our destructive ways. This link will show you different ways we can help preserve and protect our natural resources.

I hope that this can help inspire people to do more for their Earth since it has done so much for them. We don't need to do big projects like form an environmentalist group or protest, its the little things you do that count the most. I found a quote that really portrays what we are doing to the planet, it goes like this:

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.” 
― Mahatma Gandhi

But as I said before, its not too late to do our part in helping our home heal from the wounds of man.
